Chris Hayes tweeted on Tuesday that a politician “trying to straddle the Big Lie” regarding the 2020 election is like someone trying “to keep one foot on [the] boat and one on the dock” and “you end up in the water”:
If you try to keep one foot on boat and one on the dock you end up in the water, and the same is true for trying to straddle the Big Lie.

HIS embrace of *a* “Big Lie” doesn’t count though:
Big lie about Russian Collusion? https://t.co/Q8gZTP2vfz

They will never admit this, however:

And don’t even get us started on previous “Big Lies” like in 2000, 2004, 2016 and the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election:
A reminder that Bush v Gore, which functionally handed the presidency to Bush, was so legally shoddy its own authors explicitly disavowed it as precedent *in the opinion itself*.

Kerry's people believe Karl Rove rigged Ohio for Bush & leftist pundits spread conspiracies about Diebold voting machines.
Hillary Clinton not 2 weeks before the election said Trump is an illegitimate president and that Biden should not concede in a close race.
Sound familiar? https://t.co/WJ4STZSHrF

Stacey Abrams has never once admitted she lost her 2018 race and constantly blamed the loss on unfounded claims of voter suppression.
Yet the liberal media still praise her wherever they can. https://t.co/HHVPlbdeIO
